How to Install s3server on NetBSD

s3server is a simple static web server for Amazon S3 compatible object storage systems. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install s3server on a NetBSD system.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

• A NetBSD system with root access
• Git installed

Installation

1. Install Go language:

$ pkgin install go

2. Clone s3server repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/jessfraz/s3server.git

3. Navigate to s3server directory:

$ cd s3server

4. Build the application:

$ make build

5. Install s3server:

$ make install

6. Verify the installation:

$ s3server --help

The help menu of s3server should now be displayed.

Usage

After installation, you can start s3server by running the following command:

$ s3server --addr=:8080 --region=us-east-1 --endpoint=http://localhost:9000 --accesskey=ACCESSKEY --secretkey=SECRETKEY --bucket=mybucket

Replace ACCESSKEY and SECRETKEY with the access key and secret key of your S3-compatible object storage system, and mybucket with the name of your bucket.

The command above starts s3server on port 8080 and configures it to communicate with an S3-compatible object storage system located at localhost:9000 with region us-east-1.
